Pearl Ruled @ p62

"It seems like everyone was ashamed of their nakedness. Are we supposed to believe that this is still Eve's fault?"
"Don't forget the serpent," answered Tabitha.
"I remember that we had lots of questions when we were little." Tamar walked over to a basket and pulled out the bas relief of Ishtar.
"And Great Grandmother didn't have the answers," said Tabitha as she reached up and took the bas relief.
"Maybe she should have made up a different ending," replied Tamar.


I wanted to be fair to this book because Stephanie sent it to me at my request. Sadly, this bilge is simply too turgid, too exceedingly poorly written, too just plain gawdessawful to treat as a serious publication. The soi-disant author must've subsidized this publication and the publishers must have looked the other way as they cashed the check. No one edited the book. There is not one single sentence in the quote above that wouldn't have an artery's-worth of red ink spilled over it. If one were fortunate, the red spill would utterly block out the horrible, stilted, affected, pseudo-what-the-hell-ever it's trying to be.

It as been many a long year since I've seen something this horrifyingly unreadable in actual print. Most things this ghastly are Kindle originals. That a tree died to perpetrate this terrible affront to readerly sensibilities appalls me more than any other thing about it.

As to the subject matter, I really hope someone with discernible literary talent will take it up. It's a fascinating topic and well worth some storyteller's time to explore.
